Proc. lnstn Civ. Engrs, Part I , 1979, 66, Nov.,625-633 In order to further understand the nature of project management it is suggested that a capital project is an instrument o f change. Against this background the management steps of a project are analysed and shown to be wider than is commonly supposed.

Thomas Telford, project manager
Authors: Martin Barnes
Source: Proceedings of the ICE - Civil Engineering, Volume 160, Issue 5, May 2007, pages 61 - 64

This paper examines Thomas Telford's achievement as a project manager against modern criteria for that role. It shows that he was undoubtedly one of the best project managers of his time but appears to have confined his innovations to engineering design rather than attempting to change the way major projects were managed. He nevertheless inspired all who worked with him and proved that you do not need modern communications and management tools to be an outstanding project manager.

Learning project management skills online
Authors: M. Browne, C. Hannigan
Source: Proceedings of the ICE - Civil Engineering, Volume 144, Issue 3, August 2001, pages 135 - 137

Project management, once the preserve of the construction industry, is now increasingly sought after by all types of business worldwide. Construction training organisations are thus looking at how they can deliver their services to this much wider market and, not surprisingly, the internet looks set to play a major role. This paper reports on a small pilot study to investigate student perceptions of traditional and online learning as part of the University of Ulster's plans to develop a new distance-education master's course in project management for overseas students. It concludes that online education can be just as effective as traditional teaching but that stimulating course material and high-quality software are critical to success.

Proc. Instn Ciu. Engrs, Part 1,1975, 58, May, 205-211 7803 Project management and the engineer It is notedthat,asmorehighlycomplexprojectsarebeingdesignedanderected, employers are requiring more than ever before detailed information on programme/ performance and expenditure/budget regularly during the course of preparation and execution of the project. In consequence engineers are being forced to modify and develop their services to provide managementof complexity, and having to introduce control and information systems and current management techniques to aid in the administration and planning and execution of such complex schemes. In the light of these changes the interaction of the activities of project managers, employers, contracto and engineers is reviewed with particular reference to the obligations imposed by the General Conditionsof Contract...
